ROM is Back!

rom

How many of you remember this Marvel Comic and toy?  It’s ROM!  He’s back and IDW has him.  I am working on my ROM series and lack some issues and I never had the toy and haven’t found one to pick up for my collection.  Anyway, IDW has acquired the rights and is putting out a ROM: The Space Knight Free Comic Book Day issue to debut a new series in July 2016.  Now I can’t wait until Free Comic Book Day gets here to get my copy.

Leondro’s latest Single “Girl You The Ish”

museleondro

If you enjoy the Rap Genre you will enjoy this ode by Leondro, “Girl You The Ish”.  It’s not an in your face single, but a more introspective one.  Their is language within the song that some might object to, so this is your warning.  “Girl You the Ish” has a slower pace that conveys what he is feeling well and when looked in the context of his art form it is done really well and I think most will enjoy it.  Leondro is sharing “Girl You the Ish” with ComicPop listeners through SoundCloud – Richard:

Amy Raasch latest single “Cat Bird Coyote”

cyberpr1amy

Amy Raasch is sharing with the ComicPop LIbrary listeners “Cat Bird Coyote” from her upcoming multimedia platform Girls Get Cold.  This will start you week with something fresh in this mash-up between an animated short and music venture.  My interpretation of “Cat Bird Coyote” is the circle of life theme.  This will catch some people off guard with the mixed medium, but for me, I enjoyed it tremendously because I enjoy both mediums and like it when storytelling are joined in a mash-up.  Check out “Cat Bird Coyote” that Amy is sharing through her YouTube channel – Richard:
